We realised we were able to do this pretty easily on WordPress themes because we’ve already asked the author to provide a separate installable zip file in addition to the “main file” zip at upload.

Will this result in authors having to update their themes if they submitted before the mandatory separate theme zip upload was introduced? Cheers

Good news! Is this only for wordpress only? Can we have it for Joomla also?

Is this an equally common/painful problem with Joomla as it is with WordPress?

In every handful of buyers, I do get 1 or 2 who try to install the entire zip as a template and get the ‘JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file’ message. For now I can handle that with a good documentation or faq but in future would be nice to have.
